Few fishermen will risk a long cast for two reasons, first, the extra bit of an Ihn that the net is in the air gives the opponent that much more time to avoid the net, and, second, the net, if avoided, may be lost. - (Avengers of Gor, Chapter 19, Sentence #25)

Can the net and trident be taken seriously as weapons? Are they not rather, merely, the tools of a trade, not weapons but the equipment of a way of life, like the peasant's sickle and plow? Needless to say, in war, such an error of judgment is likely to be made only once. Each net, of course, has a diameter and a likely range of flight. Such things can be important. Few fishermen will risk a long cast for two reasons, first, the extra bit of an Ihn that the net is in the air gives the opponent that much more time to avoid the net, and, second, the net, if avoided, may be lost. Without the net the fisherman is little more than a lightly armed spearman, the bearer of a javelin. My recommendation for the foe in these matters is movement and patience, maintaining a constant change of place while staying outside the range of the net as much as possible. One tries to make oneself a difficult target while searching for opportunities. - (Avengers of Gor)
